replying to boost the boost

Thanks. I take it.

I was under the assumption this game was single player only. For multiplayer games, I am not saying anything, because exploits and bugs should be fixed. Below defending part of this reply is about single player games, which does not apply to this game.

But for single player games, if someone wants to cheat or abuse an exploit, it should be their decisions. And there is no need to shame anyone for doing so. That is like hacking a game and doing whatever you want (well its not the same off course). My point is, if it does not harm anyone, then they have the right to get upset for patching that out if it was part of what was fun to them. Off course getting upset over patching an exploit is just silly. And its even more silly to downvote a game for. But still, I can understand, because they had fun with it.

Right, my bad. You are absolutely right to mention that.

You are talking about the compiler, not the language itself. Humans program in programming languages such as JavaScript and C to write computer programs. The code is human readable text in both cases. Both are code to describe how a program operates. Therefore C and JavaScript are programming languages.

With your logic, is Python not a programming language? The common compiler is an interpreter. But there are also real compilers that produce machine code. What about C# and Dotnet langauges and Java? They produce Bytecode that needs to be interpreted by an interpreter and executed at runtime, as these are not machine code yet. Are those not programming languages?

Which one? Hahahahaha.

Nice one.

HTML is not a scripting language, it is a markup language to describe text and give it meaning. You can’t write programs in HTML itself.

Why is a scripting language not a programming language? I am not sure if you are joking (would be fitting to be honest, but ask nonetheless in case it is serious). JavaScript is a programming language, and scripting is a sub category or type of it. The language itself does not define if its a scripting language, this is defined by the compiler.

What about compilers that compile to C first and then machine code / self running executable? I think this is how some Python compilers work (no I am not talking about bundles). What about C# and Dotnet? Java Bytcode?

Isn’t JavaScript is the worst programming language to ever exist.

I can’t answer your question in the title, but I can say what I do whenever I learn a new programming language (even if its temporary just to play around with new languages). My personal Hello-World like program I tackle in most cases is something that runs another program. Lot of my personal projects are actually like that. You can start simple, to learn how to do associated tasks with it. There is a lot you can learn by diving into this (first) simple exercise.

This will help you understanding how to read directories, handle file names and paths correctly, read text files in example, how to spawn a process, handle possible errors and react to error codes, possibly read and process stdout of the program. Also handle commandline options, output stdout so it can be used with other programs easily. Write configuration file and so on.

An alternative thing you can try is, doing a simple grep like program. Or maybe a simple game that asks you a few questions and gives points. Or a note taking app.

I would say that if you purchase the game, then I do not consider it pirating to crack the Denuvo, just for playing the game (without abusing anything). Although I can understand pirating without buying, because you don’t want to reward Denuvo and the company using it.

I see. Then in this case, its only fair to remove exploits. I always thought this game is offline single player only (never played the previous game, despite being in my library… oh boy the pile of shame). In this case I agree with you fully and there should be no reason for “review bomb”.

Ok, fair I guess. Does it have player vs player mode? That was what I was thinking off.

Glad we understood our points of view. I honestly didn’t know how to express myself better. And thank you as well staying calm without the typical forum toxicity. :-) I guess there is not much else to discuss about this particular point anymore, as we cleared any prior misunderstandings up.

Ultimately, the law is there, the execution is not.

It’s not the copyright that is broken, but its enforcement. And just because people violate copyright does not mean it is not meant for you as well. Just with any other law. Just because someone breaks the law, does not mean it was not meant for you as well. The copyright is there for you too. That is the purpose.

To be fair, its a single player game. If the player wishes to exploit bugs to play the game that way, then the player should be able to.

Does swapping the Proton version still causes issues for Denuvo? I mean if changing the Proton version can lock me out of the game, I’m not sure if I want pay and reward both companies for that.

Denuvo on this game was cracked before launch! https://www.thegamer.com/pragmata-capcom-cracked-hypervisor/

Thanks. Ah goddamnit, I was on that page already, but overlooked that as I did not recognize the name while quick scanning many pages. So after researching a bit more, I come to the conclusion that JeOS itself is a main distribution that is not based on another, right?

I know they do this. But it does not change the fact that copyright is for the small guy AND for the big guys.
